Why not just get a Wii U and have all those Wii games plus the new Wii U titles? :/

 

Anyways, nice collection so far.


Because I'm waiting for the console to go around 200,00 to buy it. And won't buy the digital re-releases anyway.

You can just buy physical Wii games too.

I'm buying them, but for that I can use normal Wii... WiiU more down the road.

Not sure what you mean by this, but the Wii U plays physical copies of Wii games too y'know, it's fully backwards compatible with Wii games :)

I know that... I read wrong the Mystro post... though he was talking about the cheap releases of digital only wii games on wiiu... Will buy it at some time.

No...it's a consonant.  You're definitely not the only one to make a mistake like this (I'm looking at you MyNintendoNews). Interestingly enough...if you pronounce it like you have it written it is another word...ennui (more or less).  I'll ask you this....would you eat a watermelon...or an watermelon?  It's the same sound.


Well I know W is a consoant, is more for the sound... I read Wii as "Uí" (like french people speak uí), and I probably would say uatermelon.

It is like ui in french...but this is english and the rule is based off english.  It isn't a vowel sound that would use that article.  Examples that would are igloo, ice box, alphabet, elephant, etc.  Let me give you another example...unicycle.  That is pronounced yoonicycle, even though it starts with a vowel. The yoo sound is not preceded by "an" but rather "a". This really isn't up for debate or based upon a region.  It is "a" wii.  It's never "an" wii.  I'm not trying to be insulting or condescending...at all.  Just trying to help.


Don't worry, I didn't took it bad...

I know about the voguel or consonant sound... but for me Wii (uí) was voguel sound... and wouldn't be sure if unicycle is read Uni or Youni and probably would use "an".... but them my english is quite poor so I don't take bad any criticism torwards it, I try to remember it to avoid repeating.

BIT.TRIP Complete, Zack & Wiki (if you like point/click puzzle games. Geometry Wars Galaxies, Little King's Story (look into it first to see if it's your type of game), Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, Boom Blox.


Thanks for the odd ball throws...

Could you please point to some strong points of each of them to entice a buy?

BIT.TRIP Complete - On-disc collection of the 6 BIT.TRIP Wii Ware games (Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, Flux). Each game is a modern music/rhythm take on an old classic. For example, Beat is a take on Pong, where you have "bits" coming at you in patterns, and on the left side of the screen, you have a Pong paddle that you have to use to hit them back. Each bit you hit adds a note to the music (and then another note when it leaves the screen). Nothing else like, them, really. The "Complete" version comes with a soundtrack CD and adds checkpoints and some other things (leaderboards, maybe?).

Zack & Wiki - Like old point + click adventure games, but instead of a large world that you're navigating through, it's broken up into self contained levels. It's VERY challenging and very Japanese in it's style. It's a single player game, but my wife and I like to play it together, brainstorming the solutions together and taking turns using the controller.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies - Twin stick shooter with awesome visuals and music. Only version of Geometry Wars to make it to a Nintendo home console. Comes with the original "Retro Evolved" game, but the main "Galaxies" campaign siwtches things up with upgrades, differently shaped maps, and objectives.

Little King's Story and Sin & Punishment - I own these but haven't actually played them yet. Little King's story is a RTS/Life sim/RPG that is unlike pretty much any other game on the Wii (or maybe any other platform). Sin & Punishment is the sequel to a Japanese-only N64 game that is sort of a cult classic. It's an on-rails shooter where there characters have jetpacks (that was enough to sell me on it).

Boom Blox - Really fun competitive party game. You use the motion controls to "throw" balls at Jenga-like towers to knock them down.

You can't delete post as far as I know, just edit (maybe quote someone else)...

bit.trip seems intriguing enough to worth a try.

Though Zacky and Wiki was really childish, glad mistake, will try it.

Geometries war seem ok.

Not interested much in the last 3 you listed by your description.

My bad, didn't go through all 17 pages lol. I'll try to think of more. Most of those I mentioned you can pick up pretty cheap. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Zack & Wiki is fantastic. One of the most puzzling adventure games I have ever played. It requires you to think outside of the box.

If you can find it, Battalion Wars II

If you like exploration maybe look into Endless Ocean 1&2.

Also, maybe it's just my taste, but I am gonna have to downvote on MadWorld, definitely my least favourite Wii game I played... It looks great, and it was neat trying out the different styles of kills the first few times, but I thought it got boring about half-way through (which is about 2 hours in). I am not the biggest fan of beat-em-up or hack'n'slash type games though, so perhaps I am not the best judge. (No More Heroes I liked though, and thought it got better and better as the game went on)


Highlights from Battalion Wars and Endless Ocean (heard good about ocean)

Uhnnn I'm into both genres, so maybe I'll like it =]

Battalion Wars is a strategic third person shooter where you can switch control to any unit in your squad and direct and command all the other units. Your squad (or battalion) can include anything from basic infantry through special commandos to various land, sea and air units... so depending on the situation you may want to be on point in a big tank making sure you protect the main squad while you tell the anti-air units to keep enemy aircraft off your back... or you could take more of a commanders role and stay at the back while directing groups of units to where they are most useful.

Endless Ocean is basically a diving experience sim, it's not really a goal oriented game and is more about exploring the environment. The first game does have a kind of endgame goal but you could get to it in 4-5 hours and you would still have 90%+ of the game to explore... Endless Ocean 2 is quite a bit more story oriented, but once you have opened up all the areas (which can probably be done in under 10 hours, but I am not sure by how much as I like to explore) it is still much more focussed on exploration.

They all also have online play... but I am not sure if it is available anymore... the Endless Ocean online is a 2 person friend invite system so if it does still allow you to play online it can still be a neat experience (if you do get Endless Ocean 2 I would be happy to show you around as a guide... the first game had region locked online so I wouldn't be able to dive with you)... Battalion Wars also has a 2p friend invite as well as a random player option, but due to poor sales the random online was dead a few months after it came out.

This kind of makes no sense unless you don't have the money for a Wii U. If you paid $100(or near that) for a Wii and want to pay $200 for a Wii U,  thats $300. The cost of a Wii U now.
